The name of the shop where you scored it, how much it cost and the stats on the hot sales guy who helped you pick it out.You found it at the mall. Then return the love by complimenting her too-cute faux leather bomber jacket.Nothing. You found it at a great new thrift shop, but if you blab about your buy, everyone will start shopping there and you’ll be out sweet scores. A girl’s gotta keep her style secrets…

Your next-door neighbor Hannah has the chickenpox and doesn’t want anyone else to know (who wants their crush to picture them looking like a feverish, itchy leopard? Yikes!). She asks if you could pick up her homework, so you…

Raise your hand during class and tell your teachers the whole sitch. And when her crush, Colin, asks where she is, you give him the 411 on how her blisters have finally crusted over. Talk to her teachers after school and tell them what’s up with her. When your pals press ya for deets on the walk home, you tell ‘em she’s sick, but that’s all you know.Copy down the assignments and ask for extras on any worksheets she’s missing. If anyone mentions Hannah’s absence you just shrug your shoulders.

Friday night equals ice cream with the girls! But…uh-oh…the doc just told ya you should steer clear of dairy or risk the runs. What to do?

Call your chicas and say you have to go out for half-priced appetizers instead. Then read to them a list of all the complications of your condition – they need to know what’s going on!Go out and choose a cookie over your usual mint chip. You’ll tell your pals about your prob later and ask if they want to shift to sushi nights instead.Suck it up and go out for ice cream. Taking a few bites of it is better than telling the whole group about your icky sitch.

Give her the total scoop: you’ve got a 92 average in Spanish, you’re going out for captain of the basketball team and you’re crazy about your new crush, Tom.Let her know that you’re scoring mostly A’s in math, then ask her how her Monday night bowling league is going.Tell her it’s good and hope she moves on. Your life isn’t really interesting enough to merit a 15-minute monologue.

Family friend Amy has her license and offers to drive you to school. What kind of topics do you talk about while you wait it out in rush hour bumper-to-bumper?

Everything – from cute habits of your cherished kitty, Mr. Fluffers, to a rundown of your biggest life goals (which change, oh, about 10 times a day!)Movies, the great new Thai restaurant your family tried this weekend, some current events…you try to keep things light and centered on anything you may have in common.Whatever. You let Amy steer the car – and the convo.

Sweet! You just started dating a totally cute dude. When the subject of your former BF comes up, what do you tell him?

Spill your heart out about how you thought he was the love of your life, then list all the reasons he was way wrong for you. It’s good to be honest, right?Explain that you and your ex dated for two months before heading in diff directions. Then change the subject to something happier, like the awesome concert set for Friday.You get super-nervous and turn bright red – you hate discussing anything in your past, especially failed romances.

What kind of personal stuff do you have posted on your Facebook page?

Hmmm…what’s not up there? You’ve got slide shows, a list of your celeb crushes, tributes to your BFFs…and about 275 pics.A few cute snaps of you and your pals, plus some links to your fave blogs and websites.Your name, birthday and a profile pic. You don’t see why you’d need to post anything else.

A pal keeps trying to pry personal info from you about your bro (she’s totally crushing on him). When she asks what he’s up to this weekend, you…

Fill her in on all of his plans, fro the football game on Friday to his dermatologist appointment Saturday morning. And, oh yeah, he’ll probably be playing soccer in the park on Sunday.Say he'll be around and suggest she stop by so she can get a chance to chat him up while he's home.Tell her you don't really keep track of your bro’s business. It’s true--you guys lead your own lives.
